The company’s Sustainability Management Hub works to eliminate 60% of resources for administrative tasks, enabling stakeholders to stay up to date with the latest sustainability improvements in hotels and the wider travel and tourism industry.
BeCause CEO and co-founder Frederik Rubens Steensgaard commented: “Ineffective sustainability management is costing hotel and travel brands over $8bn each year. This is in addition to missed revenues of at least $13bn annually based on our industry estimations.
“This early investment addresses a significant need in the industry and helps support our mission of making sustainability management simpler, faster and cheaper, so that tourism companies can make a tangible impact on people, the planet and their profits.”
